Campsis
radicans ~ Trumpet Creeper |
| Campsis radicans is an
enthusiastic grower with a rambunctious root system. The Trumpet
Creeper will readily start new plants from the roots, often reaching under
sidewalks and starting anew on the other side. Campsis radicans also
has viable seeds. While Campsis radicans likes water it hardly needs
it and will grow just fine without much at all once established. The
Trumpet Creeper can be planted in a shady garden, and can find its own sun
as it can reach 30-40 feet. Planting with a root barrier
in place is a good plan, so is providing ample support for a fast growing
large vine. Campsis radicans has showy orange or red flowers that attract
hummingbirds throughout the Summer blooming period. Campsis
radicans is native to central and eastern United States. Plants are
Winter hardy to zone 4 but will likely die back to the roots in colder
climates.
